10Pushups’s BodyBlog

I never intended to get as thin as I am. I’m 6′ 1" with a 30 inch waist, a 36 inch chest, a gaunt face and I simply look too thin.

I’d stop losing weight right now except I have a "loose skin" problem, and I’ve read that perhaps it may recover if I get to a low body fat level and stay that way for a six month period.

So far all the weight loss has just made my skin worse. But, the only places that look truly bad are the areas that still have a significant layer of fat.

Based on how fast I have lost fat in these areas, it seems that I have to lose between 4 and 6 more pounds. That’s not so much, except that I’m already at the lowest weight I’ve been as an adult.

It also seems that the areas with loose skin can be filled with muscle if losing the weight doesn’t help.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the weight loss will do the trick because I only have two weeks until my beach holiday and I really don’t want to scare people!

Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I managed 10 proper pushups.

This is something that is simple for most guys, but for me it was definitely an event to celebrate.

But, having said that, I still have almost no muscle on my body. Apparently it takes a lot less muscle to do a pushup than I thought!
